Blast. Looks like I've still got a lot to learn. Moving on. SMH typically stands for “shaking my head,” although it can also be used to mean “stupid minded humans” or “so much hate.”Feb 26, 2015If you've been online or received a text that made you wonder what SMH means, all you really need to know is that it stands for "shaking my head." It's a popular online acronym that teens and young adults love to type into their social media posts or in text messages to express the same physical body language of shaking their head in disappointment. For example, a Twitter user might tweet something about how their favorite sports team just lost a game and add "smh" at the end of the tweet to further express their disappointment: "The Purple Eagles totally should've won that …show more content…
You: "I need the car this Saturday, so you'll have to find another way to get to your weekly Nakuro Dragonflame X meeting." Your son: "SMH" You get the idea, right? I could go on and provide you with even more ridiculous examples, but it's not necessary (and I don't know sports or anime). All you have to remember is that "smh" is an Internet abbreviation trend used for shaking your head to express disappointment. Using It Right and Finding Real Life Examples There aren't any strict rules at all for using this acronym. You can type it in all uppercase letters, all lowercase letters, with a phrase or on its own. All its used for is to emphasize a more expressive reaction that words alone can't really communicate. And besides, "smh" is a lot easier and faster than typing, "I'm shaking my head in disbelief" or something similar. If you want to see more examples of this acronym used in the wild, search for the term or hashtag on some of your favorite social
Another reason when using internet acronyms, there is a bad mechanism to use while sending a text or typing an email is a miscommunication. Text messaging cannot accurately convey the tone, emotion, expression, or even body language. Emoticons, like smiley faces and laughing faces, helps the other person know that you understand the joke and helps them know your feelings/mood that you’re
2. The terms that Johnson singles out are “like,” “duh,” and “yeah, right”. These words are constructed and scattered all throughout Kirk’s argument. This supports the main thesis of Johnson’s entry is that these slang terms are utilized to project the significance of the time we live in. He also marvels at the way one might unconsciously need those words to buffer and fill statements.
Words such as pin (accused), knock off (kill) and blip (kill) are widely known slang terms at the time, so incorporating them into speeches makes the characters more rough and realistic. Hammett uses a clipped, laconic style which speeds the action along, controls emotion and limits clear acce...
Through these different study and friend groups, almost everyone is able to talk with each other in one way or another. The small scale off both the school and class size also help for one person to meet every other person around them. As one of my friends, Scott Noftsger, said, “I really like them except for the “knowing” of all of us of each other’s business.” This, again, shows the immense amount of communication among the students, with word of each other getting around very quickly, for better or for worse. Along with this though, many new abbreviations for words have come up in LCS that I did not understand when I came to the school from another. Words like “Charter,” “The Rock,” “The Park,” and “The Warden” each mean very specific things around LCS that came out of many inside events or jokes occurring around the students here. Although some other schools may use the same terms, the use them in different ways and mean different things by them then we do at Charter. With all of these different occurrences, terms, and way of communication combined, it is easy to see the complex interactions between the students at LCS as a more distinct characteristic of the
When people think of the F word, they tend to think of a certain four letter. To Firoozeh Dumas, the F word means years of discrimination. After living in America for 29 years, Dumas decided to write stories for her children about her life growing up Iranian in America. These stories were later published as Funny in Farsi: A Memoir Growing Up Iranian in America. At age nine Dumas moved from Iran to permanently live in America where she and her family were harassed for their difficult to pronounce names. Fed up with the harassment, Dumas decided to change her first name to a more American name in middle school. However, as she entered college, Dumas decided her appreciation for her own culture was more important than if her peers can say her name properly so she started to go by Firoozeh again.
The article Should that frown be upside down? Emojis make the meaning clear By Tracey Lien, Los Angeles Times, you read about the incorporation of the emoji to the dictionary. The article says, “The emoji it singled out — an image of a laughing yellow face crying tears of joy — did not fit most people’s definitions of the word.” This is pointing out that the addition of an image to the dictionary,
In these readings, the word is used to express frustration and anger as well as a sense of being abused and forced to endure. Sonia Sanchez uses the compound motherfucker/motherfucka to emphasize her disdain of whites in the poem TCB (Taking Care of Business). At the end of that poem however she says “now, that is sed. Let’s get to work” (Sanchez 723). This seems to have used the “fuck” as a cathartic mechanism to vent her frustrations. Once these frustrations are unleashed Sanchez conveys her willingness to “get to work” on the issues she has with the cursed whites. June Jordan uses fuck to describe both the physical and mental rape that occurs in her “Poem about My Rights”. Disgust with a French law that stated if a man penetrates a woman but does not ejaculate then he is not guilty of raping her, Jordan responds to this with asking if she smashed his head in with hammer and he and his buddies fuck her that she consented because they did not ejaculate. She then states how this “fucked me over” (Jordan 767) because she is in the wrong place at the wrong time and the wrong color skin so she must have wanted to get

In the article “In praise of the “F” Word” Mary Sherry discusses the “F” word, which means failure. Basically Mary Sherry stated that the kids of today are getting cheated out of a good education. They are passing through the school system because some are good kids and they do not create any problems in the classroom. But, at the same time employers are also being cheated because they expect graduates to have the basic skills. She also stated that Diplomas are considered meaningless because most of these kids who were awarded one could not read or write properly and therefore, they are back in night school along with adults who are trying to get their G.E.D.
Some of the words and phrases I have heard, have been “You asshole”, “f*cker”, “ah you b*tch”, “sh*t”, and “f*ck”. Some of these words have commonly been used when people drop something, or hurt themselves in any way. Other times, individuals used some of the phrases towards someone else, in a manner of playing around. Instead of decreasing come one as mean, they used the words, “asshole” or “f*cker”. I think the only word that has been gender biased on campus, has been the word “b*tch”, as it shames or commonly related to female gender compared to the male gender. I don’t think I have personally experienced someone using homonormative terms on
For example, “dance a flamingo ” being used instead of “dance a flamenco”. It is used by Shakespeare many times, particularly in the character of Juliet’s nurse. Once, on a trek to find Romeo to find out his wedding plans for Juliet, she says “I desire some confidence in you.”(2.4.) The nurse intends to say “I desire a conference with you,” but her malapropism conveys a deeper meaning, that she does not have confidence in Romeo’s love for Juliet, along with adding even more humor to Mercutio's hijinks. Another malapropism directly follows this, where Benvolio jokes “She will indite him to some supper “(2.4.). While the proper word for the sentence is “invite”, Benvolio uses malapropism to make fun of the nurse’s slip up, this time for pure comedic
... be feeling this way. In Run Lola Run this was used when Manni is in the phone box on the phone to Lola . You see Manni standing in the phone box and his body language is showing the audience frustration and on the edge. This technique was used so the viewers can get an idea of not only how the characters are reacting with the expression on their face but also how they are taking it.
